The real problem is that the Teela show could have worked if they wasn't so keen on shitting on the franchise in the process.
How?
1) Set it prior to Teel becoming Captain of the Guards make it a show set about her past growing up with Man At Arms as her adopted father and her efforts to find her place.
Let her get annoyed at Adam, but please remember she was already Captain of the Guard when He Man first appears in that series so there's no He Man and you could deal with Skeletor before he went all out villain and explain some of his past in the process.
2) Skeletor ambushes the Sorceress whilst she is outside the Castle and succeeds in mortally wounding her causing her to seal Castle Grayskull telling He Man to go into exile as the only means for the Castle to be reopened is using the Power Sword.
Adam is conflicted on this and upon trying to talk to his parents recognises the Sorceress is right so leaves despite Man At Arms trying to talk him out of it.
No one knows what happened to Prince Adam and He Man has disappeared.
King Randor orders Man at Arms to go looking for Adam after Man at Arms refuses to go after He Man effectively exiling him.
Teela leaves the guard in protest and begins her own quest this one originally her reflecting on her past as she goes on various adventures until she learns her father has returned with Prince Adam who ascends to the throne but refuses to marry any of the matches the court has assembled to produce a heir to succeed him.
Eventually Teela learns of a hero wandering the land who resembles He Man and eventually meets him discovering a burly late teen boy with a passing resemblance to Adam carrying his father's sword.
She's shocked when the boy draws the blade and calling upon the powers of Castle Grayskull becomes He-Man!
She's even more shocked when they reach the palace and Adam secretly comes out to meet them greeting his son and explains what has really been going on.
Skeletor learning of what he assumes is a pretender has been largely sending minions to deal with the upstart, but his arrival at the city leads him to directly confront him discovering his old nemesis He Man has returned...
3) The Unnamed One appears attempting to steal the power sword Orko manages to fend him off as we learn of his true past and how his sister was supposed to be here in his place but the Unnamed One killed her and forced to intervene Orko took her place knowing he lacked any of her training but it was the only way to prevent the Unnamed One from reaching Eternia before they could protect the current wielder of the sword.
Having to face up to the truth Orko explains to the Masters what is actually going on and with their help perhaps finally end the threat the conqueror of his people poses to Eternia...
Any of these are MUCH better than what they went with and if I can come up with these you can bet much more hard core fans can do even BETTER!
